red sun in the morning, sailor's warning

Perhaps she had been leaning too far forward and slipped, she would never remember. Her mind was all consumed by the sudden fact that she was on the ground all alone. It was hard and uncomfortable, though she didn’t fall far it still hurt when she bonked. However, being on the ground and not in her father’s embrace was what turned out to be the most scary.

To her benefit, at least, her Poppa was very quick on the uptake. She had barely time to begin crying when he had scooped her up into his arm and pressed her protectively against his chest. She sniffled softly as she pushed her head into his soft fur and felt safe and warm once again. Her wings fell back, much larger than the day they had found her, and draped over either side of Mort’s arms as she clung to him with leopard like paws.

He kissed away her tears, and asked if she was okay. The truth was she was completely unharmed, only startled by her sudden topple. Made worse by the strange lands and goings on. "I’m.." she sniffled, "okay." The girl whimpered softly as she tried to ignore the scary happenings all around them. "What do you think, Poppa?" She asked as she recovered realizing her fall had interrupted his words.
